At Blind Lady and Tiger!Tiger! one of our main quests has always been to figure out how we fit into our community and in turn, how we then can give back.
This year instead of flying by the seat of our pants — our specialty and general modus operandi— we researched over 45 organizations that were suggested by our staff members and chose 12 of them for 2017, one for each month.

International Rescue Committee

The International Rescue Committee responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover, and gain control of their future. Locally, the IRC in San Diego's multi-lingual staff work closely with refugees from the day they arrive to the day they become US citizens. They have various programs to ensure that refugee families are successfully resettled in our community, made possible with the great help of over 500 volunteers annually. More than 90 cents of every dollar they spend goes directly to refugees. The IRC office in San Diego was established in 1975. They have the highest rating from Charity Navigator and Charity Watch and have been consistently named as one of the best charities to give to to aid in Aleppo. They have many ways to help out from joining and attending events and more.
